If there’s one thing you can count on in supply chain management, it’s change. Agility is essential in a world where disruptions jump seemingly out of nowhere and rattle the bones of supply chains from end-to-end. Sticking to old-school, static planning models is a recipe for getting left behind by a faster competitor.
This white paper is your backstage pass to the future of supply chain planning. You’ll learn what decision-centric planning means, why it’s different from traditional planning, how e2open helps enable decision-centric planning, so it delivers clear business value.
What is decision-centric supply chain planning?
Decision-centric planning is a modern approach that empowers organizations to sense changes, assess impacts, and act in real-time. This method uses continuous monitoring and advanced analytics to drive faster, smarter decisions. The result? Supply chains that can adapt to disruption and seize new opportunities as they arise.
How decision-centric planning differs from traditional planning
Traditional planning relies on demand forecasts based on historical data, periodic cycles (e.g., monthly S&OP meetings), and static models. In contrast, decision-centric planning is current and fluid. It prioritizes real-time data, decision-quality, and helps to connect planning and execution. The difference: “predict and hope” versus “sense and act.”
